Believe it or not, I have never played a Fire Emblem game. Nor have I ever played a game in the Dynasty Warriors series. Jumping into this blend of those two giants was a daunting prospect; games with such a rich history can be hugely overwhelming when you throw yourself headfirst into a newer series entry and this time I was tackling twice the normal amount. Thanks to this, though, this review should give anyone in a similar position all the advice that they need.
A Tower not worth climbing.
It’s difficult to decide whether Squareboy vs Bullies: Arena Edition is simple genius or overly minimalist.
I’ve got 98 problems, but choosing a Switch game ain’t one!
Okay, admit it – this game hasn’t been on your radar at all, has it? Well, it probably should be.
The side-scrolling shooter shoot em’ up (shmup) is one of the oldest video game genres and just by the virtue of its continued presence today demonstrates the versatility and longevity that it provides for players. Sine Mora Ex might not rewrite the core genre mechanics, but it sure knows how to contribute to them.
Anyone who’s a big fan of tower defence games – this reviewer spent weeks enjoying Starship Patrol on DSiWare before the service was discontinued last year – will be hoping for a great representative of the genre to join the Switch eShop offering line-up. Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime could prove to be the game to fill that gap.
By now, you no doubt already know whether or not a new Lego game is going to be your cup of tea. Lego: The Ninjago Movie Videogame does little to change this – but that’s okay… mostly.
Inversus Deluxe is a unique shooter created by Ryan Juckett, who previously worked for Bungie. Originally released in 2015 on PC, it makes its way to Switch with new content which and is a minimalistic yet fun by nature game and, because of this, it might also have become one of my favourite early eShop titles.
Double the trouble!
